Correct Answer: INR 11,25,000


Solution : Percentage of money wife got = 45%
Percentage of money son got = 30%
⇒ Percentage of money daughter got = 100 – 45 – 30 = 25%
The amount received by daughter = INR 6,25,000
Let $x$ be the total money.
25% of $x$ = 625000
$\therefore x = \frac{62500000}{25} = 2500000$
Amount received by wife = 45% of 25,00,000
= 45 × 25000
= INR 11,25,000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 11,25,000.
